Loveland

‘Tis the season.
Sellers and buyers are prowling the streets of northern Colorado—sellers are (hopefully) putting their best foot forward to get the best offers and buyers are making a series of offers, optimistic that one of them will be accepted.
Some sellers think slapping a price on a house and putting a sign in front will do the trick. It could, but why not guarantee you’ll get a couple of great offers based on how you took the time and a little bit of effort and money to make your home …

The home-buying market hasn’t slowed down too much over the holidays and cold weather. Investors are still out there looking for opportunities to fix ‘n flip or buy and hold. First-time home-buyers are looking at town-homes and condos and, we hope (!) some people are moving up to higher prices and putting their $300k-$400k house on the market.
I asked Kevin Francis of The Francis Team at Horn Funding to expound on the merits of getting your financial life in order so the spring home-buying …

I love fall.
The heat of August dissipates, it's my birthday, I get to wear my sweatshirt with dogs on it, and I don’t feel guilty about letting my lawn go brown when most of my neighbors diligently water during the stifling sunny days of summer. Their lawns will also soon go brown; I’m just ahead of the curve.

But I don’t know the Listing Agents who are popping up on our northern Colorado MLS with Denver as their agency address. Competition for listings is fierce with so few of them coming on the market right now. I get it. But are we doing our clients a disservice by listing properties where …

Median home prices still continue to rise in some parts of northern Colorado with the exception of Greeley/Evans, Longmont and Estes Park. Boulder has an unbelievable median price of $992,00 while Fort Collins at $372,000 and Loveland/Berthoud at $350,000 look reasonable in comparison but are still really high for our area. Longmont dipped to $345,000 from a high of $370,00 in March, Greeley and Estes Park adjusted down as well.
That just means that the homes we used to sell for $225,000 …

Downtown Loveland
Looks like downtown Loveland will continue its revitalization with the unanimous approval by City Council to move forward on a proposal by Brinkman Partners. Dubbed the South Catalyst, the project will span First to Third streets between Cleveland and Lincoln Avenues. They hope to start construction the first of 2017. Brinkman Partners developed the Gallery Flats in downtown …
